What's probably most ironic about the bizarre "controversy" surrounding Barack Obama's birthplace is the fact that he's actually the only sitting President in US history to possess made his birth record public (it's online for everyone to see and has been confirmed by the State of Hawaii as being his real birth record.)

Isn't it funny that the President who has provided more proof than every other of his birthplace will be the one who has these ridiculous rumors (including the completely insane baseless myth which he was born in Kenya) swirling around him? By funny, After all funny "weird" more than funny "ha ha" although in the dark humor type of way it's funny like this too.

It's clear that you have a certain segment of the usa population that just can't stand that a black "liberal" (he's not really particularly liberal, he'd be right of center generally in most Western democracies and he's a centrist in america) was elected President in November of 2008 by nearly 10 million votes. They can't stand it so much that they make up ridiculous conspiracy theories about how the President is hiding his "long form certificate of a birth."

So What About this "Long Form Birth Certificate"?

There is absolutely no such thing. What these conspiracy theorists are most likely referring to is the "birth certificate" that folks sometimes get at a hospital (in many cases complete with the baby's footprint, etc) however that kind is actually only a souvenir meant for scrapbooks and contains absolutely no legal meaning. Including the hospital souveneir is not appropriate for getting a passport, while the official state certified birth record Obama put on the internet is.

President Barack Obama - In other words, these "birthers" (the term for the conspiracy theorists who won't admit the most obvious fact that Obama was born in Hawaii) won't accept the state certified birth certificate that Obama has put online because they'd rather see a meaningless souvenir instead. It's this type of ridiculous concept as to be truly hilarious.

There's Only 1 Type Of State Certified Birth Certificate

When you contact the condition of your birth and request a certified copy of the birth certificate they send you a particular type of "certificate of live birth" (each state's forms are particular to that particular state.) In Hawaii they send you the type of document that Obama put up. That's it. There's no other form. There's nothing he's hiding. In fact, as mentioned at the beginning of this article, he's shown a lot more than any President in history.

When you ask for your birth record there's no box you search for "short form" or "long form." There's just one official birth certificate document in a condition at any one time (these forms may change over time of course, which is why some people show examples of forms with more or less information on them, even in the identical state.)

This Is About The "Birthers" Being Anti-American

election 2012 - So as you can observe there's absolutely nothing to this so named "issue." It's a complete fantasy inside the minds of some conspiracy theorists called "birthers" who are looking for any kind of loophole they can find to overturn the democratic will of the American people. To me you cannot get anymore Anti-American than that. If President Obama isn't their President, chances are they aren't Americans.

You don't need to like President Obama's politics (it's our right as Americans to disagree using the President) but you should no less than respect the office cheap he won the election by nearly 10 million votes.
